Students suffer injuries following a terror scare at Kenyatta University's library

- Scores injured at Kenyatta University as students scamper for safety from the University's post modern library following an explosion that was misconstrued to be a terror attack

- Students who were injured by glass shards and the resulting stampede have been treated at the University's hospital

A terror scare at Kenyatta university has left scores of students injured. The early afternoon incident at the school's five-storey post-modern library saw students who were studying for their exams scampering for safety.

The commotion, TUKO.co.ke has learnt, was caused by two students who started a fight at the University's computer laboratory creating a stampede.

The photos doing rounds on social media show students milling outside the library watching in horror, a student who is dangling precariously from the window of the third floor of the library .

The unidentified male student, while running from what was assumed to be a terror attack tried to jump off the window but was held by his classmates before he could jump to the concrete below.

This is the second time that the students have caused a stampede after reports of a terror scare. In 2015, following an attack on Garissa University, a tweet sent by a Kenyatta University Student caused a scare at the institution though no casualties were reported
